METHOD FOR MEASURING LATERAL MOVEMENTS IN A DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for determining a dynamic variable representative of a lateral movement of a located object in a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle, the method comprising;
- locating the object using two angle-resolving distance sensors situated laterally offset with respect to one another;
measuring radial components of a relative velocity of the object along particular lines of sight using the sensors; and
determining the dynamic variable on the basis of the measured radial components.

Abstract
Method for determining a dynamic variable representative for a lateral movement of a located object in a driver assistance system for motor vehicles, which has two angle-resolving distance sensors situated laterally offset to one another for locating the object, using which a radial component of the relative velocity of the object along the particular line of sight is also measurable, wherein the dynamic variable is calculated on the basis of the radial components of the relative velocity measured by the two distance sensors.
